[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's great that you're biking.  But do you have to be completely taking over a spot in a lane slowing down all the traffic?  You are going 20 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone.  There is a walk/bike path that you could be using, but in your mind, you are a car.

[b]I just saw the car in front of me almost have a head-on collision, because they are trying to get around you.

This is an intervention.  You are not a car.[/quote]

The driver of that car should learn how to drive safely, before they hurt someone. "Don't pass unless it's safe to do so" is a basic driving rule.[/quote]

Wait. You are blaming the cyclist because an impatient car made a probably illegal but definitely idiotic pass (he didn't check for oncoming traffic first?). Come on. You have to be kidding me.
If I am behind Grandma in her Olds who is cruising, it is still up to ME to pass safely. No matter who I am passing.[/quote]

This.  No matter how annoyed you are at the vehicle in front of you, whether it's a cyclist or a really slow driver, it doesn't absolve you of your obligation to drive safely, which includes not passing unless it's safe to pass.  And no matter how much you wish that bikes were no allowed on the roads, they are, and you have to deal with it.  I neither drive nor bike on a regular basis, so I have no dog in this fight.  I've seen irresponsible and unsafe cyclists and irresponsible and unsafe drivers.  Everyone needs to learn and obey the rules of the road, period.  [/quote]
